Tawkon for Android Released, Aims to Protect You From Your Phone’s Harmful Radiation

Do smartphones emit dangerous levels of radiation? They may or they may not. It’s one of those arguments or studies that will probably continue on through the end of time. We are still early enough into this smartphone game that no one really knows how harmful the use of them will turn out to be in the end. An app called tawkon isn’t going to wait around for that time to arrive though, and wants to be proactive about it.

Tawkon claims that it will monitor your phone’s radiation levels and then warn you if they reach the danger zone. At that point, they will make recommendations for how your phone should be used until it drops back into a safe level. It’s an interesting idea whether you buy into the radiation argument or not. Oh, and it’s free.
